Du, X. (author), Bokel, R.M.J. (author), van den Dobbelsteen, A.A.J.F. (author)The authors wanted to prove that there is a large correlation between the concepts spatial openness and comfort (visual, wind speed and thermal) perception in people’s minds in a hot and humid climate in summer in order to be able to use spatial configuration parameters such as openness, connectivity and depth as a design tool for a comfortable...conference paper 2017

Wattez, Y.C.M. (author), Cosmatu, T. (author), Tenpierik, M.J. (author), Turrin, M. (author), Heinzelmann, Florian (author)In order to reduce the energy demand of households, a new type of Trombe wall is being designed during a ‘research through design project’ called ‘Double Face 2.0’. A Trombe wall is a passive system that reduces the energy demand of a building. In winter, it captures the heat from the sun during the day and releases this heat into the building...conference paper 2017
